Kim was married to NBA player Kris Humphries, before she married West. At least that’s what Wikipedia says.
Once again, Homer Simpson said it best.
It’s a fair cop. You’re right, and it’s stupid of me, and it doesn’t make me cooler to try to pretend. To my credit, I usually only do it as a joke.
Nope, I’m not a liar for that one. I’m 80% NPR, 15% local alternative/college, and 5% right-wing talk (better than coffee in the mornings for getting my blood up).
(ETA: that said, I have heard both Wrecking Ball and Shake It Off. Just not intentionally.)

I know there is a Kardashian named Kim. I know she has been on TV and there is something about “keeping up” with them. I would not recognize a Kardashian from a picture. The name Taylor Swift has been in the news the last couple of days regarding streaming. I know nothing else about her. I lie not. I don’t live in a cave but being over 50 is sort of like a cave.
Well…I should probably make sure John actually drives a bus.

Well fuck me running. Apparently I don’t even know the difference between Miley Swift and Taylor Cyrus. I’m not sure if I’m embarrassed or not.

Honest to God, I can’t name one Taylor Swift song. I might recognize it, but you’d have to tell it was her.
The Kardashians can all burn in hell.
Kim Kardashian:
- is good-looking
- made a sex tape
- married a bloke (probably more than one)
- has a US reality show
Taylor Swift:
- is a pop star
I have never heard anything by Taylor Swift (mind you, the last record I bought was ‘Who are you’ by the Who in 1978.)
I don’t have a mobile phone and have never used social media.
(Get off my lawn!)
I don’t know any “Kim Kardashian” or “Taylor Swift,” as you call them, and I don’t want to. All I need are my backyard smeltery, my athenaeum of papyrus scrolls, and my slime mold menagerie.
Kim Kardashian’s the fetching brunette on the cover of all those magazines they want me to buy at the supermarket, right? Good looking woman, but I don’t read gossip rags so my knowledge of her stops right about there.
I don’t know who Taylor Swift is or what she sings, so it probably involves cowboy music. I don’t listen to cowboy music.
Count me in as being that sheltered. It’s been only 1 week that I’ve known anything about the Kardashians outside of a vague name awareness that they might be actors or singers or something.
Mrs Gargoyle started filling me in on them, their money, Kanye, Bruce Jenner. I seriously thought she was having me on. “Wait…Bruce Jenner the Wheaties guy? And the rapper that stole Taylor’s trophy speech?” It is too unreal.
I think many people think feigning ignorance makes them look above it all. In reality, it just makes it seem like they don’t retain anything they see or hear.
Agreed. A more effective approach is to kvetch about valuable neurons being devoted to remembering inanities.
Yeah, I couldn’t sing a Taylor Swift lyric if my life depended on it. Don’t know a one. Don’t listen to the radio, or drive a car.
To be fair, nobody is really clear why they are famous.
They are famous for being famous.
My knowledge of the Kardashians and Taylor Swift are mainly because of second hand references. I see the Kardashians in skits in SNL and when people here talk about how much they hate them. I wouldn’t necessarily recognize any of them in an unidentified photo.
I know Taylor Swift is a very popular pop star. I just tried listening to some of her stuff on youtube to see if I recognized any of it. It all sounds so generic that nothing stood out as something that I had heard before. I no doubt have heard it in the background in airports or bars but I couldn’t say which.
Of course I’m not exposed to celebrity news or to pop music much here in Panama. I mostly see and hear it when I’m in the US a few weeks a year.
Until about a month ago, I did not know that there was more than one “Kardashian”. I cut and pasted that because I do not know how to spell it, and do not care to learn.
The Swift person I heard of yesterday in regard to her dispute with Apple over royalty payments.
I still have no idea why anyone should give a whit about a “Kardashian”.
And I don’t do “social media” either.
Wrong, sir. And pistols at dawn.
I don’t have the faintest fucking idea who K.K. is. I’m only vaguely aware of the name as someone who is famous for being famous. I certainly do not know “exactly” who she and her family are.
(In fact, when you say “The Kardashians” I have no idea who, other than Kim, is involved. How many? What sexes? Siblings, parents, great-uncles? No idea.)
The name is Armenian. That’s about all I got.
I don’t know who Taylor Swift is, either. I can’t say I’ve ever heard the name.
You’re committing Sherlock Holmes’ capital error of theorizing in advance of the facts.
I honestly couldn’t pick a Kardashian out of a line up of mock celebrities. When news of Bruce/Katelyn Jenner came out I was suppressed to learn they were related. I’d only known Jenner as an athlete.
I know Taylor Swift and can probably identify a song on the radio as hers.
